I provide help with Access applications. I specialize in designing the
tables for a new database and fixing problems and adding new functionality
in existing databases. My fee could be as low as ten dollars. If you need
help and can no longer connect to a newsgroup, I can help you. Contact me at
my email address below.

Keep in mind that Steve is notorious for violating newsgroup etiquette
and is always trolling for work. He doesn't grasp the concept that the
newsgroups are for FREE support and that commercial sollicitations are
off-topic and unwanted. Take him with a grain of salt.

Free Access support continues to be everywhere, such as:
The newsgroup comp.databases.ms-acces
social.answers.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/addbuz
utteraccess.com
tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/MS_Access_Professionals
and several others.

I'm puzzled. Only $10.00 for help that the rest of us give out FREE in many
forums which are FREEly available to anyone looking for a FREE replacement
to the FREE help that has been offered FREE here in the public newsgroups.

In case anyone is interested and can still see the Newsgroup, here is a list
of FREE forums, where many Access experts and Access MVPS still offer 100%
FREE assistance and where you are not charged in any way for the FREE
answers there.

http://www.UtterAccess.Com
http://www.access-programmers.co.uk/forums/
http://stackoverflow.com/
http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/MS_Access_Professionals/

That's just for starters. I'm sure a reasonably serious search will turn up
several more FREE sites as well as a few that do charge. I suspect if you
want to pay for assistance, you'd want togo to one of those sites where a
significant number of Access Professionals still offer advice and guidance.

And that doesn't even count the other options, which some long-time Access
MVPS are supporting. Look through previous threads for more information on
those choices.

So, if you're still interested in getting FREE assistance from real
professionals, there are any number of ways to get that help FREE , without
paying even the "reasonable" fee of $10.

Steve Santus has been spamming newsgroups for a good many years. Regardless
of the admonitions that newsgroups are for free assistance, as this one
states; or the admonition that advertising, even of free stuff, is not
permitted, he refuses to follow the rules. Do you want to subject yourself
to the whims of someone who could, but will not, follow the rules?

Most of Steve's posts are simply flogging his services; but, when he does
attempt to answer questions, his correct answers are so few and far between
that capable, experienced Access developers who answer questions here for
free have said "no rates can be reasonable _enough_ to pay for wrong
answers".

But, poor Steve's claimed thousands of satisfied clients don't seem to be
enough. I doubt that is because he permanently solved their problems or
educated them enough that they no longer ever need any help. So, Steve must
take advantage of the last day or two to appeal for work Yet Again, here in
the dying newsgroup.

I wish Steve well, but I wouldn't wish him _on_ any users of this newsgroup.

Hi Larry,
Another point is that with more and more support options going to a
moderated format, there may be fewer and fewer places for Steve to
grovel for work. That's definitely one of the weak points of usenet
newsgroups and something I'm looking forward to with Microsoft Answers
and other places.
